    Android Auto Calendar Tabs

    I ran into this issue over the weekend with the new AA UI. I had an appointment with the address but AA was not showing it on the display and when clicking on the Calendar, Google Assistant just said I had no appointments when I was 30 mins late. I had to pull over to launch maps from the...

    Op Ed: Google's Looming Pixel 4 disappointment

    I am curious what Google is thinking with the size of the battery on the 4 and 4 XL. I figured it would be larger with the release of Stadia.

    Android Pie: Ambient Display not working

    On my Pixel XL I have noticed that the ambient display is a bit slow. When i wake up my phone in daylight the screen is real dim and takes a couple secs to brighten up to a viewable level.

    I'm now enjoying Alexa more than Google Home

    I too started using Youtube Music as my source of entertainment. I have tried getting my friends / family to use it but they are stuck on Spotify. With YT Music, I really like that you can download songs for offline use so I don't use data. That and it takes into account any music videos...

    Android System battery usage

    I have been experiencing the battery drain for the past week. Yesterday I finally did a factory reset on my XL. I am now 15 hrs off charger and @ 85% charge so things seem back to normal but we will see after this charge cycle.

    Wemo link not working yet

    Are you getting hung up on the step, to link your accounts, when it asks to push a button on the device? When I went through the setup on my Pixel XL it just sat on the screen with the timer counting down. I backed out of the app a couple of times then finally just tapped the screen when...

    Chromecast help

    If you turn on CEC control on your TV then, with the TV off, you should be able to say "Ok Google" Play Stranger Things on TV and the Chromecast should trigger your TV to power on to that input. I do not have a Chromecast, I have a Vizio P with builtin Chromecast. But I have read in other...

    Google Home Wish List

    I have submitted this same request to Google. I want to be able to ask Google what temperature is currently set to. Then after she responds, I would like to be able to just say. Set the Temprature to XX. Instead of having to say Hey Google again :P

    Music Playback just stopping

    I ran into this problem over the weekend. Was trying to do some stuff around the house while playing a Christmas classic station via voice command through G-Home. It would play one track but then stop. I then tried just casting from my Vizio Tablet remote and it would present the same...

    2016 Vizio P. - Voice control not supported :(

    UPDATE: I was digging around the Google Home app and noticed that my Vizio P65-C1 was listed as an available device. Seems my TV got the Cast Firmware update to 1.21 (TV Firmware was not updated) and it works beautifully. I found you can actually just say Play "Movie/TV show" on TV and...
